Life Sucks Sometimes!

Sorry if you have already read this......

So, as everyone knows I've been dealing with my ex over the house and what not and the other night while on the phone with my lawyer I learned he is now down to 25K! While I'm on the phone talking to her, my boys are fighting upstairs and one pushes one into the wall and leaves a huge dent, which I now have to repair on top of the broken window. I had already come home to dog diarrhea throughout my porch.

SO, a combination of all this, made me call my Dad crying asking what to do. He gave me some good advice and I've decided to follow it.
SO, I'm agreeing to sell the house and I'm moving back to Ontario from Alberta to be closer to my family. I've given my notice at work today and will be gone August 15th, that is the renewal date of my mortgage and hopefully it sells by then, if not I have to find out about what I should do, file bankruptcy, walk away etc. I can't stay here while waiting for it to sell and dealing with my 'hubby' and putting more money into the house if something were to go wrong during the winter months to find out that I'm digging myself further into debt or having to drive across Canada in snow if it were to sell in the winter.

I NEED MY PARENTS! and from my children's behaviour, they need their family. I realize I can't do this alone.

There has been new legislation apparently passed in ONtario that requires full time Kindergarten programs to have an ECE in the class so I'm SUPER excited about the possibility of going back home and getting a job straight away working in the schools again or subbing until something opens up fulltime....

So, as you can imagine, I'm a tad overwhelmed. Excited about being 'home' again around family but saddened to be giving up my house and all the friendships I've built out west since moving in 2003 and all the work that comes with a cross country move.

"IT" is keeping one of our purebred dogs but I won't let him have Bentley as he is 'mean' to him... so I'm taking him with me.

I know deep down this is the best move for me and my boys but change is never easy. Sorry I have been so MIA. It is so hard trying to do this all alone without any family here to help.

Ugh! I'm so sorry that you had such a rotten day!! I'll be praying for you in this time of transition!!

OH, Patti!!! *big hugs* I'm so sorry to hear about all the shiz you're going through!! Decisions like these are never easy, and letting go is the hardest thing. But it sounds like you've found your path, and knowing where you're going is the toughest part! Hang in there with the move, take ONE DAY AT A TIME, and remember to BREATHE.

And you'll be just fine, sweetie!

Patti, you know I think about you all the time. You are strong and you all will be just fine in the end. I am glad you will be closer to your family!
